Product Description
A great gift for a coworker, client, or new college graduate, the Montegrappa Parola fountain pen celebrates the written word—in fact, “parola” is Italian for “word.” Sleek and refined, it features a pink resin body with chrome-plated trim and a soft-touch grip section for a comfortable feel in the hand. The cap screws closed, opens to reveal a medium stainless steel nib, and posts to add length and weight while you write Read More
bought this during last time this dropped and the extra fine is very scratchy and writes quite badly. I am pretty upset with this pen - unusable - completely. solid build but the nib sucks.
absolutely right, I tried taking lots of notes with the pen hoping it would get better, but so far it hasn't :(. I hope to have the results as you in the future.
brukentalThis is with the dimonte Shimmertastic ink. Which you should not use because the particles are too big. Still work after exercising the nib for a (long) while.
JNL111I bought one of these on massdrop. It arrived with the strangest nib issue I've ever seen - part of the iridium tip was just... missing. Like a cavity in a tooth.
Fortunately, the good folks at Kenro (Montegrappa's US distributor) swapped the nib.
Their service was outstanding and made me a bigger fan of Montegrappa.
The pen has a scratchy nib I think. I ordered this from elsewhere and returned it for the same reason. I love the form of the pen but the nib spoils it for me.
kruthikarshankarThis is kind of concerning. I also have issues with a different Montegrappa model that I bought a while back. The nib doesn't have proper inkflow and it's a pain to get it to write; I've been considering to send it off to a nibmeister to fix it but keep putting it off. Quality control issues on Montegrappa pens?
RayFI just got this pen, and found that it is a lot tamer color in person - it's almost more off white with a pink tint than truly pink. Pretty though, and the pen feels nicely solid.
Hi All,
Due to this drop selling slowly at its start, our vendor has offered us a better cost so we can offer you a better price! The Parola can now be had for $99.99 at check out. Grab 'em while you can!
Cheers,
Also, same issue with a scratchy Extra Fine nib. However, with a few minutes and micromesh, it smoothed out very nicely. It's now one of my favourite writers with good flow and a smooth glide with just enough feedback to be really pleasant. Of course, you shouldn't have to do this, and many buyers wouldn't be comfortable (and shouldn't be) trying this, but it's an easy fix.
